Wildlife in Common Survey

Site Name: Southrepps Common SSSI Parish: Southrepps Grid reference: TG 260350 Area: 5.6ha District: North Norfolk Survey date: 18.06.18 & 13.7.18

Registered common number: CL 391

Habitat description:

Species-rich central area of fen and swamp informed by Foxes Beck that flows west to east across the site. The rest of the site consists of rougher fen and grassland, scrub, wet and dry woodland, and a stretch of amenity grassland.

The fen to the west is mainly reed-free with marsh helleborine (), common grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), common spotted orchid ( fuchsia), cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis), common valerian (Valeriana officinalis), marsh valerian (Valeriana dioica),devil's-bit scabious (Succisa pratensis), early marsh-orchid ( Dactylorhiza incarnate), few-flowered spike-rush (Eleocharis quinqueflora), fragrant orchid ( conopsea), glaucous sedge ( flacca), quaking grass (Briza media), southern marsh- orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa), eyebright (Euphrasia sp), (Angelica sylvestris), yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor), grass of parnassus (Parnassia palustris), bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliate) and ( ) saplings.

The swamp to the east has common reed (Phragmites australis), common nettle ( dioica) and bramble ( fruticosus agg.).

This central area is surrounded by a belt of mixed woodland and scrub including (Salix sp.), (), holly (Ilex aquifolium) and hawthorn (Crategus monogyna). Alder carr woodland follows the beck.

Beyond Foxes Beck to the north is less diverse fen, again with areas of scrub to the east and west. The fen here has sedge sp., soft rush (Juncus effusus), meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), greater birds-foot trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus), common knapweed ( nigra), early marsh orchid, common spotted orchid, hemp agrimony, alder saplings and bog bean. Also marsh thistle ( palustre), early marsh orchid, common spotted orchid, marsh helleborine and grass of Parnassus. Here alder saplings are invasive. This area grades into reed with creeping thistle (Cirsium repens), spear thistle (), Michaelmas daisy ( x salignus) and golden rod ( canadensis), becoming coarser as it heads towards houses in the north.

The far north west area of the common has a drainage ditch, an area of closely mown grass and planted trees including silver (Betula pendula), red horse chestnut (Aesculus carnea) and Lawson (Chamaecyparis lawoniana). To the south of this is an area of rough grassland with broom (Cytisus scoparius), creeping thistle, common nettle and garden escapees.

Limited Himalayan balsam ( glandulifera) occurs by the beck and towards the houses by the north.
